Ten Men Healed

11 While traveling to Jerusalem,(A) he passed between[a] Samaria and Galilee.(B) 12 As he entered a village, ten men with leprosy[b](C) met him. They stood at a distance 13 and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master,(D) have mercy on us!”

14 When he saw them, he told them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.”(E) And while they were going, they were cleansed.

15 But one of them, seeing that he was healed, returned and, with a loud voice, gave glory to God.(F) 16 He fell facedown(G) at his feet, thanking him. And he was a Samaritan.(H)

17 Then Jesus said, “Were not ten cleansed? Where are the nine? 18 Didn’t any return to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And he told him, “Get up and go on your way. Your faith has saved you.”[c](I)

14 He looked at them and said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.”[a] And as they went, they were cleansed of their leprosy.

15 One of them, when he saw that he was healed, came back to Jesus, shouting, “Praise God!” 16 He fell to the ground at Jesus’ feet, thanking him for what he had done. This man was a Samaritan.

17 Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? 18 Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” 19 And Jesus said to the man, “Stand up and go. Your faith has healed you.[b]
